It is a well-known *belief,* not a *fact,* unless you can prove that the
height of every player in the league is overstated by an inch or two. 
And if that's the case, then it all evens out, doesn't it?

I wonder if the guy that Barkley threw out the window started it by
saying, "I bet you're only six-four..."  :)
